• An area of concern for <strong>the</strong> region is <strong>the</strong> influx of individuals that are relocating due to a<br />

seismic event at <strong>the</strong> New Madrid Fault in Missouri. Short term shelter, and long term<br />

residence could strain <strong>the</strong> infrastructure and economy.<br />

• Region L has various dams and levees that could be an issue due to earth or ground<br />

shaking.<br />

Development in Hazard Prone Areas<br />

While Region L is not in a high hazard area for a severe, catastrophic earthquake event, <strong>the</strong><br />

population density and building count ensure that it will be at risk for damaged buildings and<br />

displaced households. With this in mind it could behoove <strong>the</strong> Region to adopt seismic design<br />

standards for any new development, particularly for critical and essential facilities to minimize<br />

any tremor or shaking impact.<br />
